The hotel close enough to walk to many things from Broadway, Time Square, and Central Park. And just a bit of a longer walk to the NY Public Library and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The room was large and spacious. All in all, would stay here again.

We felt abandoned in a property no one was accountable for. Abrupt removal of management and staff without notice to guests is unacceptable. We only got to know through government officials.

This was a fine little place. Staff was friendly, room was comfortable and clean. This met my needs perfectly. The property itself is definitely old and out of date, from the faded wall paper, aged furnishings, baseboards and trim, and carpet, but I was still satisfied with the building as a whole.
